Looks like honey mushrooms. Did you have a cold snap?

I wouldn't call it "cold" but it has been in the 50s at night. Several groups of these were found today in various stages from fresh to dried and black to dark ground in color. Several groups were found growing around maple and shagbark hickory tree roots. Other groups were on much older dead logs.

You usually only find them 1-2 times per year and the get old very fast
Here's another group of them.
